Meredith - You have done so well to get this far, you will hold this baby, keep believing that! Congrats on a good scan and on your little girl!
AFM, had my wellbeing scan today and all is looking good. We are now 95% sure this bub is pink so I lashed out and bought a few clothes today. She is measuring on the 50th percentile which is great (because of my diabetes we don't want a big baby), amniotic fluid level is good and cord blow flow is also good. So feeling a whole lot more relaxed about everything now, I think getting to this scan and having it go well was just about my last pregnancy hurdle to get over. I know the placental function now should be good for the next several weeks until my next scan, by which time bub should be almost ready to arrive if need be. I only got to 37 weeks with DD before she decided it was time to put in an appearance, so I must admit I'm assuming that this one will be a little early again too.
Hope everyone is well, and WTH, I'm so glad again that all is looking good!
Had a really bazzar conversation at work yesterday and it's just sinking in now. Obviously nobody knows I'm pg yet. On one hand very proud gandma brought in her daughter inlaws scanns happy and healthy baby (don't know sex). then another staff member asked for tuesday off to go to a funeral for her sister inlaws 20 week old baby. It made me feel sick as I never even though of a mc at 20weeks, I guess I have two dates in my head 5.4 weeks (when I had my mc) already pasted and 12 weeks. I really felt sick hearing all of this. I know it's life it happens but it is so devistating for all. My are with this woman and her family.
Erybery I think the same, I'm a mess now but I'm sure when i'm a mum I'll be the same. But it will be a little more in my control. Hope you get what you want
Meridith thanks for bringing up the conversation. Funny how things some times happen.
WTH- So glad you got checked out hun, like Megsmum I don`t hesitate when it comes to ringing my OB.
Meredith - Congratulations on your little girl, your doing so well hun and before you know it you would have hit the 30 week mark. It`s all so normal to keep worrying, look at me at 37 weeks and I still worry.
Megsmum - wonderful news that your wellbeing scan went well and woohoo for being 95% sure she`s a girl
Jen - Congratulations again hun, I was over the moon when I received your sms.
Greenslw - It`s awful when you hear news of someone loosing a baby, sadly it happens at times.
Erybery - hope the next 18 weeks come quickly for you.
Hello to everyone else
Not sure when I was last in here, but to give you a quick update we had gastro go through this house thanks to it coming home from preschool, I ended up in the birthing suites being monitored due to contractions starting due to being dehydrated, I was 35 weeks at the time, it all subsided eventually but have since had the most painfull BH`s every day, now this week we have another virus from preschool, a cold this time I have 13 more sleeps to go before bubs is here My 4 year old DS is so very excited, he`s been waiting for so long and it`s not long to go now for him, my 2 3/4 year old DS is also excited but he`s often in his own little world IYKWIM.
Deejoy - I can't believe that your little one is now term! Congratulations my love - but I was sorry to read about your scare... Wishing you a stressfree "rest of pregnancy" darling woman...
WTH So glad that everything is fine and cervix is closed. Must be a relief.
Meredith Aw congratulations on a baby girl! It's great that she's growing well. And IKWYM about the further you get, the more there is to lose. But there's a lot more to gain too. I'll be thinking of you and willing Upsy Daisy to hang in there She's a strong little one (and clever too! from the size of the head).
Megsmum It's wonderful that your baby girl (!!) is doing well and that you can relax and enjoy the rest of your pg.
Deejoy The gastro sounds scary, but glad your all ok. So cute that you Dss are so excited!
A little more relaxed today - my day off p/t with DD today!
Ecstatic to hear about Jenushka's birth and the arrival of Miss Lila - glad to see everything went so well!
Chappas - no consolations here - but having thrown up this morning I can offer a bit of reassurance that it is not necessarily a sign of something wrong - have had feral m/s both pgs now and can remember with first one - still had periodic m/s from time to time everytime there was a surge or shift in hormone levels, if I bent over while eating or too soon after eating (compressing what was already a very short torso with a piano accordian effect going on anyway with bub inside!) or if the toothbrush strayed too far back into my throat too soon after eating in that frantic morning rush for work... I still get really nauseous when I get overtired with the juggling act of modern life - so I don't know - maybe I am just more susceptible to m/s than others??? Most days it is all cool - did get a small return in the last couple of weeks before DD was born but again it was sporadic thankfully! Good news is - I am very efficient at it and have developed a very karmic attitude to the whole process.
Deejoy17 - sorry to hear about such bouts of illness in the last part of your pg when you are just trying to get into the zone - understand about little ones and their love of 'bringing things home' - think I would prefer puppies though... I hope the winter bugs can stave off long enought for you to be able to dismiss them. Good luck with everything...
Megsmum - with all the effort you have put in to manage your condition - I am pleased to see it is paying off for you - the scan of your little girl sounded spot on and I am pleased that all of the indicators are good for you - Congratulations!!!
MeredithD - congratulations on your little girl!!! I have RSI from crossed fingers for you and have no intention of changing that atitude anytime soon. Is it just me or do we seem to have a bounty of girls at the moment on the thread????
WTH - I was sorry to see you had a scare sweeting - I am glad your Ob was supportive and able to reassure you. You have such a positive situation of people (yourself included) keeping an eye on things.
Pash, Greenslw - lovely to hear your good news - may it just keep coming!!!
Cherished1 - I hope you can reach a stage soon where you can feel comfortable with your pg
Hope you have a good week erybery!
Hope HannahD, Easha, babymiracles, smilanatu, mollycat, Possums, buliej and Teagz that you are all going well!
AFM - theoretically finish up teaching on July 13 - can't bloody come soon enough I think! As this is my final pg given two is enough in our case - I am trying to really scavenge some time to just enjoy time with DD before bub comes and to actually have enough space (sans everything that goes on in a day) to really connect with this pg and appreciate it as in my case, this is it.
You have done so well to get this far, you will hold this baby, keep believing that! Congrats on a good scan and on your little girl!
